Princess Baocheng asked again: "What is his name?"

"Cheng Miyuan."

At that time, this man had made great contributions. Lu Jingzhuo asked him what reward he wanted. He said that there were academies in every province, state and county in Dai Viet, and everyone was seeking fame, wealth and fortune, but there were very few people who could help the world. He wanted to open a clinic to teach people how to treat illnesses.

Lu Jingzhuo readily agreed and ordered the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to help him open a clinic named "Tian Di Lu" in the capital, and his students gradually spread all over the country.

Chu Yin deliberately mentioned him in front of Princess Baocheng in order to lay the groundwork for recommending Cheng Miyuan to Lu Jingzhuo before the plague breaks out in Weizhou in the future. This way it wouldn't be too abrupt. However, if he asked her why she knew this person, she could only use the lame excuse of "I heard about it" before.

But if Princess Baocheng is really willing to find Cheng Miyuan, then she will see his medical skills, and then with Princess Baocheng as a witness, Lu Jingzhuo will surely not doubt it.

"This person is quite famous in Jinzhou. I heard that he has the ability to grow flesh on dry bones, but I don't know whether it is true or not." Chu Yin added.

Jinzhou is not far from the capital, and Princess Baocheng rubbed her hands eagerly and said, "I will go and take a look in two days."

Seeing her high spirits, Chu Yin asked, "Aunt, are you really learning this for fun?"

"…I can't just sit there doing nothing all day." She stayed in the study for a few days, flipping through a lot of books, and suddenly became interested in medicine.

If the imperial physicians had been better at medicine back then, her biological mother would not have died so early.

After her biological mother passed away, she and her brother depended on each other for survival, and the world lost the person who loved them the most.

Later, my brother died of illness again.

She felt that those imperial doctors were really useless. They didn't even notice her brother's illness early on, and didn't remind him not to get involved with women!

Princess Baocheng said quietly, "It's a pity that I became enlightened too late."

Seeing her gloomy expression, Chu Yin suddenly understood a little. Perhaps Princess Baocheng was thinking of the late emperor, but the late emperor's illness was already doomed, and the imperial doctors could not detect it, and had no idea how to avoid it.

"I hope Auntie can get what she wants." She reached out and held Princess Baocheng's hand to comfort her.

Princess Baocheng glanced at her and said with a smile, "I'll invite you to watch Peking Opera next time."

"Okay, Er'er, Zhen'er likes it too," Chu Yin saw that she hadn't withdrawn her fingers yet, "Did Aunt see anything?"

I can't feel anything at all, Princess Baocheng thought. Reading a book is very different from practicing. The book explains how to feel a pulse and how to identify the feeling of the fingertips, but she has touched the wrists of the maids at home. Now when she touched Chu Yin, she really couldn't find how to distinguish the differences in people's pulses.

She said awkwardly, "It seems that I can only take your pulse after I become your disciple."

Chu Yin smiled and said, "I will wait for my aunt to return after completing her studies."

However, Princess Baocheng did not go to Jinzhou immediately. She stayed with her sister-in-law first. After her sister-in-law's mood stabilized, she told her that she was going to study medicine.

Queen Mother Jiang was a little surprised, but most women were confined to their parents' or husband's families their entire lives, and few were blessed enough to have the same fortune as her sister-in-law, so she was very supportive.

Princess Baocheng later left the capital and went to Jinzhou.

By this time, Lu Jingzhuo had already arrived at the Tongguan camp. Without any rest, he immediately inspected the soldiers' armor, horses, and training conditions in person.

To be honest, when the soldiers heard that the emperor was going to tour the north, they were skeptical and some secretly wondered whether he would take the opportunity to have fun and relax. But who would have thought that the emperor did not waste a single moment on the journey and took care of everything personally after arriving, which made the soldiers respect him and develop trust in this young emperor who had only been on the throne for a year.

According to the results of the inspection, Lu Jingzhuo clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments. He immediately dismissed the generals who had done nothing, and promoted the soldiers who had made contributions and could put forward effective suggestions on the spot. This greatly boosted the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

In the following days, their morale was high and they trained like tigers descending from the mountains.

Lu Jingzhuo held another hunting competition and participated in it himself.

The soldiers were in high spirits. The front row held flags, and the back row held bows and arrows. At a shout, they all rushed to the grassland ahead, with smoke and dust billowing.

Lu Jingzhuo was not in a hurry. He drew his bow and shot arrows on horseback, hitting the prey accurately.

At the final count, they found that the emperor was no less capable than these battle-hardened soldiers, and they immediately admired him even more. Lu Jingzhuo was also in a good mood. He rewarded the soldiers with superb martial arts and drank with them.

Beside the campfire, the emperor was handsome, dressed in a riding and archery uniform, looking heroic, and his words and actions were well-controlled. The only thing that was a little strange was that he would occasionally hold a sachet in his hand and lower his head to sniff it. This made the soldiers wonder if there was something refreshing in the sachet that could make the emperor feel refreshed.

Of course, some people also speculated whether it was a gift from the Queen.

If it is the latter, then it can explain why the emperor did not take a concubine for several years after his marriage. This obviously shows that he wants to favor the empress alone.

Duke Sun Guang of Wei was one of the generals accompanying the emperor on this trip. When he heard others whispering, he gave up the idea of ​​sending his daughter to the palace.

If you want to be valued by the heavens and move up to the next level, you have to please the emperor instead of going against him.

He could only find another way.

When the Minister of War saw that Tongguan had been rectified, he suggested that Lu Jingzhuo rush to Taizhou, an important military base on the border, the next day.

After all, he is the emperor and cannot leave the capital for too long. He must fight and resolve the situation quickly.

Lu Jingzhuo naturally had no objection.

Finishing the work earlier would allow him to go back earlier. He stood up and put the sachet in his palm into his sleeve.

There might be a thunderstorm later in the day. All the brocade fish in the celadon tank in the courtyard swam up and opened their mouths to breathe. The weather was also extremely hot and humid.

In the afternoon, Chu Yin went to Chunhui Pavilion to discuss with Minister Tao that she wanted to add a horse riding class for her son, which she would teach. Minister Tao had no objection and agreed immediately.

On the way back, Lu Wei stared at his mother and said, "He didn't hurt you at all."

Chu Yin smiled: "Learning horse riding is a good thing, why does Minister Tao want to be cruel to his mother?"

"I also guessed that it would work if I stepped in, but he didn't make it difficult for you. I suspect he bullies the weak and fears the strong because you are the queen! He is not usually so kind to me!"

"Don't say that to Minister Tao," Chu Yin said sternly, "There is a difference between a monarch and his subjects, and between a master and his apprentice. You and he are a master and his apprentice, so Minister Tao should naturally treat you as a teacher. If he goes along with you in everything, will you still listen to the lectures? If you don't listen to the lectures and are unlearned, how can you be the crown prince? How can you help your father share his worries in the future?"

It turns out that my mother can be quite intimidating when she gets serious!

Lu Yu shrank his head and said, "I understand. Don't be angry, mother. I will never say bad things about Minister Tao again."

"That's right. Let's go to the racecourse. I'll teach you how to ride a horse. It's a good opportunity for me to practice too."

The mother and son rode for an hour before returning.

Lu Zhen looked at the two sweaty people and said with a smile: "Riding a horse is so hard, I really don't know why my mother and brother like it!"

"Kicking shuttlecock will also make you sweat." Lu Wei said.

"That's different. You can stop playing shuttlecock if you want, but you have to climb up and down to ride a horse. It's so troublesome. It's more fun to feed the horse."

Everyone has their own preferences for radishes and greens.

Lu Yu didn't want to argue with his sister about this, so he stopped arguing.

Chu Yin said, "You just don't want to learn now, but you might become interested in it when you grow up."

Or after getting married.

Her future son-in-law is a man of both civil and military talents, and his riding skills are also outstanding.

But when I think of my son-in-law, I can't help but think of Yu Sizhang.

I wonder if she has married the Duke of Song? Chu Yin thought for a moment and ordered Ren Dong: "Find a eunuch to go out of the palace and ask where Yu Sizhang is now, whether he is in the capital, and if he is in the capital, whether he has married."

Yu Sizhang is so lucky. He only taught the Empress some riding skills for a while, but the Empress cared about him so much.

Honeysuckle left immediately.

Chu Yin went to the inner room to take a bath.

After she changed her clothes and was holding Lu Yu and teasing her, a calligraphy was sent from Hongyi Hall, saying that Lu Jingrui's injury had healed a little and he had been trying to write, and wanted to let her, his sister-in-law, see how well he wrote.

However, Chu Yin's mind flashed with the imperial edict that Lu Jingrui issued after he ascended to the throne, ordering the arrest and imprisonment of her Chu family.

He seized the throne from Lu Yu, and the Chu family was Lu Yu's maternal family, so naturally they had to eliminate dissidents.

Chu Yin wanted to crumple the calligraphy into a ball.

Ren Dong didn't know what her master was thinking, so she came up and said with a smile, "Your Highness has just started practicing calligraphy, and he actually writes quite well."

"Yes," Chu Yin looked at the handwriting that was almost the same as the imperial edict, "Third brother is indeed very talented."

But what does such a smart man want from her?

Just want her praise?

That's simply impossible.

But since the calligraphy had been delivered, he had to praise it a little. Chu Yin sent someone to pass on the message, encouraging Lu Jingrui to continue practicing, saying that he was very talented in calligraphy and might become a great calligrapher in Dai Viet one day.

This statement was a bit exaggerated, but Lu Jingrui did not suspect that Chu Yin was being sarcastic. Instead, he was very pleased. He asked Zhu Huang to grind ink and began to copy the calligraphy.

This sultry heat continued until the hour of Hai, when it turned into heavy rain with the sudden sound of thunder.

Chu Yin woke up from her dream with her heart beating wildly.

She subconsciously looked for a place to snuggle up to, but found that Lu Jingzhuo was not beside her.

If he were there, she would definitely hide in his arms.

Chu Yin frowned and turned sideways helplessly, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the glazed tiles.

I wonder if it rained there?

I don't know where he is now? Has he left Tongguan?

I hope nothing happened on the way?

My thoughts were in a mess, just like the rain water gathered on the roof, rushing down along the eaves, splashing water all over the ground.

Finished.

I can't sleep.

Chu Yin sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

She rarely couldn't sleep, but every time she couldn't sleep, he was by her side, whether it was killing bugs for her, hugging her, or doing something naughty...

No matter what, she always fell asleep in the end.

But tonight...

Chu Yin got out of bed and walked towards the window in her slippers.

Another flash of lightning struck, and the saplings in the yard were shaking so much that they were about to fall down.

However, the side hall was silent and the three children were not woken up.

It seems that attending classes and studying is really tiring...

As for the other child, I can only say that he is gifted. He can sleep without crying.

The corners of Chu Yin's lips curled up.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, a ring lying on the table was gleaming with jade-like light. She picked it up and put it on her thumb, preparing to go back and try to see if she could fall asleep.

And Lu Jingzhuo, who was a hundred miles away, had just arrived at an inn.

The original plan was to arrive before the hour of Xu, but unexpectedly it rained midway, which seriously affected the itinerary.

The clerks at the post station were busy boiling water and preparing meals to entertain the emperor.

Dong Ling took out dry clothes from his bag.

Lu Jingzhuo took off his outer robe and was about to go inside to wash it when he suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly took two steps back, picked up the riding suit that was soaked with water, and then felt inside the sleeves.

Seeing that he froze in his tracks, Dong Ling secretly thought that something was wrong.

Could it be that the sachet that the Empress gave to the master was lost?

He was so angry that he dared not utter a word.

It’s best not to.

Where can I find it in this rainy day?

Lu Jingzhuo: Let me tell you something.

Chu Yin: What?

Lu Jingzhuo: ...Forget it, it’s nothing.

What should I do if the gift my wife gave me is lost? Waiting online, urgent!!
